Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I guess I don't understand the issues you think you're facing with straightforward approaches. You probably don't want it on an internet server, right? Maybe just scrounge an old laptop with no internet connection and set it up with an encrypted disk. Then use it as your journalling box. So you're fairly safe from network attacks. You might have to worry about someone snagging the laptop itself and recovering the key somehow. Yes there are approaches you can take to mitigate that. I don't know of any super simple ready made methods though.
Thank you, the more I’m thinking about it, perhaps a raspberry pi with LUKS disk that’s airgapped would be best.
Though I still don’t know of a relatively nice journaling app.
Just use a text editor. I use Emacs org files but that's just me.
Many thanks for your help
